AT OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

At STRI1FORD-ON-AVON
Ny previous visit was q hurried one
Il took but glimpse and then went
on my way. Now, for nearly week l
was resident of Stratford-on-.Avon.
How shall describe the perfectly ideal
beauty of the new home in which
found myself! 1t is fine house, sur
rounded by delightful grounds, which
skirt the banks of the Avon for con-
siderable distance and come close up to
the Enclosure of the Church of the
Holy Trinity, beneath the floor of
which lie the mortal remains of Shake
speare. The Avon is one of those mar
row English rivers in which half
dozen boats might lie side by Side, but
hardly wide enough for race between
two rowing abreast OF each other
Just here the Avon is comparatively
broad and quiet, there being dam a
little lower down the stream. The wa
tiers were perfect mirror, as l saw
them on one OF the still days we had at
Stratford. I do not remember ever be-
fore seeing COWS walking with their
legs in the air, as saw them reflected
in the stream. Along the banks the
young people were strayng. L Won
dered if the youthful swains quoted
Shakespeare to their ladyloves. Could
they help recalling Romeo and Juliet?
1t is quite impossible to think of any
human being growing Up in this place,
which claims Shakespeare as its child,
about the streets of which he ran as a
boy, on the waters Of which he must
have often tioated, without having his
image ever present. is it so? There
are some boys from to 10 or - years
old, fishing in the Avon, close by the
grounds of "Avonbank," the place at
which we are staying. 1 call to the
little group:
"Isay, boys, who was this man Shake
speare people talk so much about?"
Boys turn round and look up with
plentiful look of intelligence in their
countenances.
"Don't you know who he was or what
he was?"
Boys look at each other, but confess
ignorance. Let us try the universal
stimulant of human faculties.
"Here are some pennies for the boy
that will tell me what that Mr.. Shake
speare was"
The biggest boy finds his tongue at
last.
@He was writer. He wrote plays.
That was as much as I could get out
of the youngliny. I remember meet
ing some boys under the monument
upon Bunker Hill, and testing their
knowledge as I did that of the STRAIT
ford boys.
"What is the great stone pillar here
for? I asked.
Battle fought here-great battle"
"Who fought?"
Americans and British"
u never near the expression Brit
ishers.)
"Who was the general on the Ameri-
can side?"
Don't know-Gen. Washington Or
somebody"
What is an old battle, though it may
have settled the destinies of nation,
to the game of base ball between the
Boston and Chicago mines which is to
come off tomorrow, or to the game OF
marbles which Tom and Dick are just
going to play together under the

COLOGNE spirits!"

Ncarly all that the big distilleries now
make is known 10 the trade as cologne
spirits.n This article is about the same
as alcohol, except that ii Is even more ali
solute in its purity than alcohol. When
these big distillcrics that make this Co
logne spirit begin running off the pro-
ducts Of their mash tubs they run the
first part as alcohol l, has slight tinge
of color, and is not as absolute in its pur-
ity as that which follows latter on. The
operator watches the steam of liquor as it
comes from the tub, and as he sees it be
come absolutely pure turns it into anoth-
or tank. and it is termed cologne spirits.
This IS the highest grade Of distilled
spirits, so pure that it is absolutely color
less and odorlcSs. 1t Is concentrated
drunkenness. and when it IS wanted to
be transformed into whisky it Is reduced
to about one-halfits strength with water,
some burnt sugar put in to give it col
or, some glucose added to make it smooth
and oily, like old whisky, and it passes
for the real article. Many a supposed
connoisseur has smacked his lips over
alleged twenty ear-old whisky, and pro-
nounccd it the finest in the country, when
the article he was compIimenting was co
lognc spirits, only a month old, favored
with glucose and burnt sugar On the
whole, however, the whisky of today is
not, the revenue people say, as hurtful as
that turned out by the whisky makers
twenty years ago. The chemical changes
which were then performed by danger
Gus acid are now produced by other
means, and some of the poisons which de
stroyed the stomachs of whisky drinkers
then are not TO be found in the cup now.

Ineieenis Relatinr 10 Monnr.

A woman who bought an old-fasbioned
bureau at a second hand store in Gin
cinnati discovered secret drawer in it
which contained 81, 800 in gold and old
bank bills
Money was so scarce in certain counties
OF southwestern Texas during the earlier
part OF the past winter that in some
instances the skins of iavelina hogs were
used as a circulating medium, and possum
skins were frequently offered in liqnida
ton of grocery bills.
Squire Royal, the tax-collector of Tay-
or county, Penn, took out a well-worn |
overcoat to sell to an old-clothes man and |
found $50 in bills rolled up in a sheet Of
note-paper. The Squire Is confident that
the money is his own, but he has no
recollection of having placed it in the
pocket.
Some months ago a lady living in
Butler, Ga, through fear of the deqre-
dation OF tramps, put $40 in bank notes
in a pasteboard box and buried it in the
yard near the wood pile. Recently she
went out to get it and found that box
aud bills had been badly mutilated by
wood lice. She has sent the notes TO the
banks which issued them for redcmp-

Living 40 Years.

A writer in the Journal Of Nan, pub
lished in Boston, holds that ''the attaina.
bic limits ofhuman longevity are gener-
ally moderated by the medical profession
and by popular opinion. Instead of the
Scriptural limit of three score and ten,
he says, Il would estimate twice that
amount, or 40 years, as the ideal age oil
healthy longevity, when mankind shall
have been bred and trained with the same
wise energy that has been expended on
horses and cattle. Of the present scrub
race, very large number ought never to
have been born, and ought not to be al
lowed to transmit their physical and
moral DEFICIENCIES to posterity-" This es-
innate, he insists, is sustained by the
number OF persons of the age of 40 found
in Italy under a census by one of the Ro-
man emperors. 1t Is aided, moreover,
by the number of persons in this country
who have passed the century limit.-De-

Eunice's Twins.

mo, can't say that I've had a pros
porous season" observe one passenger
to another. Last spring me and my
Dld woman thought we'd keep summer
boarders and make some money, We
have big house, able to accommodate
eighteen people beside Our own folks,
SO We writ to our sons and darters in
the city, tellin' 'em what we had de-
eided on, an askin EN- to say q good
word for us to their friends. Well, we
fixed the old house up in fine shape and
waited for our boarders. Purity soon
DUR darter Mary came down from
town with her three children, and said
she had spoken to all her friends
about us. In about week Darter EN-
came with her four children. She said
the same thing, an though they wasn't
profitable boarders we hoped for new
kind, and felt much encouraged from
what they told us. The next arrival
was my wife's sister Sal and her two
nearly grown-up children. I was o
good deal discouraged then, but my old
woman braced me up by savin' some
payin' boarders was comm and we
could commodate six more anyway.
The next arrival was my darter Eunice
with her husband and two children. They
all settled down as if they lowed to stay
all summer, an was purity badly broken
up about it. Itoll nay old woman things
were getting down to fine point al not
much left fthe garden truck. She ell
couraged me by sayin' we still had room
for two boarders, an we'd charge them
enough to run the whole house. Two
days afterward saw strange man
stop and go in, an thought luck he'd
turned at last, and killed two chickens
before l got to the house. When I did
get there / discovered he was my broth,
er, Jim, who I hadn't seen for twelve
years, come to spend the summer with
me. That settled me on the summer
boarder business, though the old woman
said we still had room for one boarder,
and by making the hired man sleep in
the barn we coud take in two, an that
would clear the house. When come
in from work the next night my darter
En- met me on the porch, and said
smilingly, Father says she, we've got
two new boarders. They came this
afternoon. Come up stairs and see
them Wait till dress up bit, says
I. So washed, put on collar, and,
feeling good deal encouraged, went
up stairs. There was all the girls and
my old woman. Pap says she with
tears in her eyes, the house is full at
last. Eunice has got twins y.

The digestive organs, when healthy, crave food,

madness, and recall it with the same
unbounded satisfaction l derive from
recollecting a meal OF cold pork and
potatoes. Pork! Ugh! I'll never eat
again They say this steamer will
reach New York tomorrow, and here
register a vow that I'll go back home
and stay there-be Il misanthrope,
philosopher, cynic, hermit anything
but sentimental fool! Amen.
